0–100, higher is better. How it is calculated

The website Zukunft Allschwil serves as an official municipal platform for the community of Allschwil, Switzerland, focusing on the revision of zoning regulations and the settlement road network plan. It targets local residents, businesses, and stakeholders interested in urban development and planning. The site provides detailed project timelines, team information, and opportunities for public participation, reflecting a transparent and community-oriented approach. Technically, the site is built on WordPress with Elementor and Yoast SEO, indicating a modern and maintainable infrastructure. The site is mobile-optimized and SEO-friendly, though performance is moderate. Security posture is solid with HTTPS enforced and no visible vulnerabilities, but lacks some security headers and privacy compliance mechanisms such as cookie consent. From a security perspective, the site shows good practices but could improve by implementing security headers, cookie policies, and explicit GDPR compliance statements. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is provided, which could be enhanced to build trust. Overall, the site is trustworthy, professional, and serves its municipal purpose effectively.

This scan rated NIS2 with an earlier keyword method that is no longer shown; rescan for the per-article view. Risk management, continuity, supply chain, training, MFA, management oversight (Art. 20) and incident reporting (Art. 23) need internal evidence, and Guard cannot tell whether NIS2 applies to this organisation.

GDPR is indicative only, based on publicly visible signals: Articles 7, 12, 13 and 32 of Regulation (EU) 2016/679 and Article 5(3) of the ePrivacy Directive. Not a certification or legal assessment.

Priority findings

6 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • Critical

      No email authentication configured

      Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing

      What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately

  2. SSL/TLS

    TLS encrypts the connection and proves the site is really yours. Weak or expiring certificates trigger browser warnings and put traffic at risk.

    • Critical

      Unable to retrieve SSL certificate

      Could not establish secure connection to retrieve certificate information

      What to do: Check if the server is accessible and SSL/TLS is properly configured

  3. Security headers

    Security headers are instructions your web server sends to every visitor’s browser. Missing ones leave visitors more exposed to attacks such as clickjacking and injected scripts.

    • High

      Missing X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

    • High

      Missing Content-Security-Policy header

      Controls resources the browser is allowed to load

      What to do: Implement a Content-Security-Policy appropriate for your application

      • ASVS V3.4.3
      • OWASP Secure Headers: OWASP Secure Headers Project recommends Content-Security-Policy: default-src 'self'; form-action 'self'; base-uri 'self'; object-src 'none';…
  4. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • High

      No Cookie Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

      What to do: Add a dedicated cookie policy explaining cookie usage and purposes

Results by check

Each check with its score, findings and the evidence it collected.

How this score is calculated

The security score runs 0–100, higher is better. It is the plain average of the security checks that completed in this scan, each counted equally. A check that could not run is left out: it counts neither as a pass nor as a fail.

Not counted

  • NIS2 outside view: Re-weights evidence from the TLS, email, DNS, network and hygiene checks, so counting it would count that evidence twice. Shown on its own.
  • OffSeq Observations: An AI reading of the site, useful context but not reproducible evidence. Shown on its own.

Findings that cap the score at 49

Each of these is serious on its own, so while any is present the site cannot rate better than high risk, however good the other checks are.

  • The certificate is not trusted by browsers
  • The website is not served over HTTPS
  • A database, remote desktop, file-sharing or Telnet service is reachable from the internet
  • The page loads a script from a compromised source
  • The domain registration has expired
  • SPF authorises every server to send mail as the domain

Partial scans

When the site blocks Guard or most checks cannot run, the score covers only the checks that ran (usually DNS and email), is capped at 75 and is shown as partial, without a risk level.

Technical appendix

Business context, site observations and technical notes gathered during the scan, and the standards behind each reference.

Business context

Business profile

Zukunft Allschwil is positioned as a government entity providing essential urban planning services to the Allschwil community. Its competitive advantage lies in official backing, community engagement, and clear communication of planning processes. The business model is service-oriented, focusing on regulatory updates and public participation. Revenue streams are typical for municipal services, funded by local government budgets. The target customers are local residents, businesses, and planners. Growth indicators include ongoing project phases and active community involvement. The partnership ecosystem includes local government departments and external planning consultants (urbanista.ch). Strategic observations highlight a focus on transparency, compliance with regional planning laws, and leveraging digital tools for engagement.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and no exposed sensitive data. However, the absence of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options reduces defense-in-depth. No visible vulnerable libraries or outdated components were detected. The lack of a cookie consent mechanism and explicit GDPR compliance statements indicates partial compliance with privacy regulations. Incident response readiness is unclear due to missing contact channels for security issues. Overall, the site is secure for its purpose but would benefit from enhanced security headers, privacy mechanisms, and incident response information to improve resilience and trust.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  2. Add a cookie consent banner and detailed cookie policy to comply with GDPR and enhance user privacy.
  3. Publish a dedicated privacy policy page with explicit GDPR compliance statements and data retention details.
  4. Establish and publicize an incident response contact channel (e.g., security@ or abuse@ email).
  5. Regularly audit and update WordPress plugins and themes to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern WordPress CMS platform using Elementor and Yoast SEO plugins, ensuring ease of content management and SEO optimization. The tech stack includes jQuery and GSAP for frontend interactions. Performance is moderate, with room for optimization. Mobile responsiveness is good, providing a positive user experience across devices. Accessibility features are basic but present. No major technical debt or outdated technologies were detected. Hosting provider details are not explicit. The site uses external fonts from Google Fonts and includes scripts from trusted CDNs. Overall, the technical implementation supports the site's goals effectively but could improve in performance and security header implementation.
Standards and sources

Reference chips under each finding point to the standard, regulation or specification the finding relates to. They are taken from the official datasets below and mapped conservatively: a finding with no defensible link shows none. NIS2 and GDPR references mark where a finding is relevant evidence, not a compliance verdict. Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690 binds digital infrastructure and digital service providers; for other entities it is the most detailed public reading of the Article 21 measures. WCAG, EN 301 549, European Accessibility Act and Web Accessibility Directive references name the requirement an automated accessibility rule relates to; they are not a conformance verdict.
